The Patriots are set to have the most cap space available in the league this offseason with $127.7 million. The post Which top free agents execs, coaches, agents around NFL reportedly expect Patriots to pursue appeared first on Boston.com.
The New England Patriots, with $127.7 million in cap space, are expected to pursue top free agents including Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams, 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward, and Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. Stanley, widely regarded as the top offensive tackle available, is seen as a priority after the Patriots struggled at the position, allowing 52 sacks in 2024. Williams and Ward are also expected to attract significant interest, with each filling critical needs for the team. Godwin, while a target, is not expected to be pursued if he isn’t among the top wide receiver options. The Patriots may also consider other top-tier free agents like Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore and Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy if they can’t land their primary targets. The team’s focus appears to be on improving pass protection, pass coverage, and pass-rushing ability.
